All these birds are more or less in process of molt. The streaking 

 on the jugulum is almost obsolete in some, strongly marked in 

 others. The color of the back and scapulars varies from a grayish 

 olive brown to a decidedly rufescent olive brown. There is appar- 

 ently no difference of consequence in either size or color between 

 this series from the Anamba Islands and a larger series from the 

 Malay Peninsula. 



Doctor Abbott found this bird common on Pulo Jimaja from 

 September 17 to 28, 1899.
